Frustrating Problem with Disappearing Doodads

[hellblazer-14]

Hey again fellow Hivers

I'm making my cinematic, but am constantly running into troubles, one of the worst being that the doodads continually disappear.
Now to explain a little better, the camera moves forwards (ingame and in the editor) and through an arch like doodad. Suddenly, the doodad just disappears, even though you should still be able to see it.

I have no idea why this is, only that the extents may be incorrect in the models themselves, and considering that I am using the UTM, fixing this would be nearly impossible. Any ideas? Like changing fog, camera fields or something related, or just something in the object editor?

Thank you very much, help would really be appreciated.
I will gladly attach a picture if you don't get what I mean.

That happens to me also... I think when your camera is too close to big doodads they disappear. Am I correct?

Your right, the camera distance to target definitely affects this issue, and so does the angle of attack.
That's all I've noticed, and zooming in or out has no great effect at all.

Yes, the same problem for me.
Can anyone please post a solution?

Actually the doodads disappear whenever you can't see their bottom, even if they are Page Up-ed a lot you still need to see their bottom for them to display. This is a huge problem if you're working on anything that's supposed to be in the sky.

If anybody has a solution, please share it with us.
This is a problem for me too

I already told you the solution above. Don't pageup so much so that you can't see the ground below the model and the actual model. If you really need to page up a lot than I suggest you add a small high segment of ground directly below the model.

Of course this will look really retarded from other points of view. Other than that just change the camera angle to face more downward.

I remember I read a tutorial on how to fix the problem, I can't remember where it is though. I am pretty sure there is one either on this site or on wc3campaigns, I can't find it though.
